Ted Cruz endorses Marco Rubio’s re-election

A onetime opponent is throwing his support behind Marco Rubio.

On Wednesday, Sen. Ted Cruz said he was “glad to support” Rubio in his re-election bid. Cruz, a Texas Republican, was one of more than a dozen Republicans who ran for president earlier this year.

“Marco Rubio is a friend and has been an ally in many battles we have fought together in the Senate. I’m glad to support him in his bid for re-election,” he said in a Facebook post shortly after Rubio’s announcement. “Marco is a tremendous communicator and a powerful voice for the American Dream. At this time of great challenges, we very much need strong leaders in the Senate who will fight to restore economic growth, to defend our constitutional liberties, and to ensure a strong national security for our nation.”

According to Elaina Plott with the Washingtonian, Rubio reached out to Cruz to confirm he intended to run. The Washingtonian reported Rubio asked Cruz to send out a statement urging the Miami Republican to run for re-election, but Cruz declined because he didn’t want to be seen as pushing Rep. Ron DeSantis out of the race.

Rubio also appeared to get support from Ohio Republican Gov. John Kasich, another one-time presidential opponent. In a tweet Wednesday, Kasich said “keeping (Rubio) serving in the Senate is good news for the people of FL & our entire nation. Good luck, Marco!”

Only a retarded Cruzer who likes amnesty and letting other men sleep with their wives would compare Romney to Trump.


Especially given that Romney endorsed CRUZ. LOL.

Yep, the tone of haughty self-righteousness is consistent within the two groups.

It is amazing how many folks the young’n globalist fraud, Ted Cruz, STILL has fooled isn’t it? (Heck, sad or pathetic might be more appropriate words.)

Only for the Cruzers, who are so stupid they can lecture Christians about "true conservatism," despite siding with a pathological liar and mutant bread-man.

We have Americans dead in the streets by the dozens due to Democrat soft on terrorism policies. Sore loser Cruz cultists follow the lead of their Dear Leader and aim their fire at Trumpers. Do they really want Hillary Rotten Criminal in the White House and more dead Americans? How sad is that?

My, such viciousness toward a deposed challenger.

"Gracious" isn't part of your vocabulary, is it?

It’s can be a powerful message when you wrap yourself in religion as Ted Cruz has done. Ted Cruzman Sachs has really abused some good folks who bought his false piousness. Cruz Family made millions from the likes of sleazy Goldman Sachs. Self admittedly gave none of that money to charity. Is that principled? Christian?

I don’t think they realize that the vitriol spewed at Cruzers even still that the primary is over will drive Cruzers away. Then when Trump loses it will be Cruz’s fault.
Sounds like Democrats to me.

When the retarded Cruzers stop pushing for a coup at the convention, and they repent of their sins and quit being such dickheads, there will be time for graciousness. Until then, you can't have peace with mortal enemies.

I don't think Cruzers realize that as long as they refuse to support Trump, and continue to use leftist and SJW tactics to intimidate and attack Trump supporters online, and continue to agitate for a coup, and continue to work for Hillary Clinton, that they are driving away Trump supporters.

At this point, I'm so driven away by Cruzers that I intend to work for Cruz's challenger in 2018. Hopefully he gets primaried out.

Good luck with that because I’ll surely vote for him again.

They are just parroting Cruz’s campaign suspension press conference tantrum. Attack, Attack, and attack Trump. Dear Leader Cruz green lighted all this nonsense. He’ll pay for it. Eventually.

Or very poor winners.

Actually, I've made my peace with Trump. It's his supporters that I find most annoying.

Like I said, they do it purposely to drive Cruzers away from Trump, so if Trump loses they have someone to blame.

Apparently they did a poll where Cruz only has support of 55 percent of Republicans in Texas, which will no doubt continue to plummet when a smart challenger demonstrates how Cruz was supporting legalization of illegals as recently as November 2015, despite lying on the campaign stage in December that he had never once done so.

Cruz is an extremely flawed, vulnerable candidate, and if anyone has the expertise and the cash, they'd be a fool not to run against him.

Really? Did you read the article? Lion of Conservatism Ted Cruz is ENDORSING Marco Amnestio. While refusing to stand shoulder to shoulder with the one man who can keep the Butcher of Benghazi out of the White House.

As long as Ted Cruz is aiding and abetting Hillary Clinton by attempting to suppress conservative support for Trump he is going to get hit back. Twice as hard. Understand?
